    Rifle Scopes Scope for a classic hunting rifle

    Rifle Scopes Scope for a classic hunting rifle

    I just picked up a 1922 /1923 vintage Savage 99 Takedown chambered in .300 Savage that's in pretty good condition. It came out of southwest PA, and the bluing on the receiver and case coloring on the lever are mostly gone while the barrel bluing is probably about 95%. I'm guessing it came out of...

    if you're not married to a platform now and not looking to build an ultra light mountain rifle, the 700 LA Clones are as good a place as any to start. Let me know where the Tikka is and I'll buy it to make your decision easier...

    6.5 Grendel

    As an addition to your post: Alliant AR-Comp is an extruded powder and works well on the Grendel, when you can find it.

    Best batteries to use for trail camera

    EBL Ni MH are good rechargables especially with a solar panel. EBL Lithium rechargables are complete trash - stay away from them. I'm leey of Duracell Alkalines due to leakage issue, but I have Duracell Optimum batteries in several of my cameras now and I'm pleased so far. I'll pull the...

    Everyone sniveled about the lack of match quality 6.5 Creedmoor brass 10 years ago, now good brass is everywhere ( When it's in stock ) You won't need Small Primer Pocket brass so that will make the choice even easier.

    Tikka T3 Thread

    I have used both shouldered and barrel nut barrels on my Tikkas. It doesn't matter as long as they are chambered and headspaced correctly. I locktighted the barrel nut on may carbon wrapped .284 Winchester barrel so that it's as the same as shouldered. Remove the action off of barrel with a...

    6.5 Grendel

    Nothing on the Shooters World Website, I checked. I ran a load on Gordon's Reloading tool and for the 123 ELDM and SW Match Rifle, 27.5 grains should be a good starting point. As always, work up slowly and with the Grendel, if you're getting any pressure signs, you're well above maximum...

    6.5 Grendel

    This Past Saturday I got to use my 20" 6.5 Grendel on a small whitetail doe and the Barnes 115 Grain TAC -TX did a good job on her. She dropped in her tracks on impact and twitched for a couple of seconds before it was over. Both lungs were destroyed and the exit wound was about the size of a...

    Hunting knives

    I was lusting after one of these: But ended up picking up a Gerber Downwind Dropoint for $ 45.00. at Academy for the start of the season. The Sheath is crap, but I can mold up a kydex sheath without too much trouble. I put an edge on it with my Work Sharp Pro setup and I'll have to see how...

    Looking For 6.5 Grendel Reliability Optimizations

    In a carbine buffer system, give an H2 Buffer a try. How fast are you pushing the Scenars? I've run 8208, CFE223 and AR-Comp in various loads and haven't had a short stroking issue at the end of a magazine.

    Compass Lake Engineering. Depending on the barrel blank, you may get to your budgetary $ figure. Not sure what their current lead time is, but they have been worth the wait. ETA...
